Indigenous Conflict Resolution: Social Institutions and their Role in Peacebuilding in Ethiopia’s Gamo Community
Heron Gezahegn Gebretsadik- April 2022- Page No.: 01-14
This paper showcases the conflict resolution mechanisms used by populations indigenous to the Gamo areas of Ethiopia. The Gamo system represents a time-honored, informal, and socially equitable method of resolving types of personal and business disputes found among the general populace.
This research work investigates and demonstrates the utility of the Gamo customary method for addressing perceptual and behavioral elements of conflict that are present in all societies across the country. To attain this objective, the article employed both secondary and primary data sources. Both primary and secondary data were organized thematically and analyzed through systematic interpretation and triangulation of various sources.
The article found that conflicts are manifested at a family, neighborhood, and clan (Dere) levels with varying magnitude. The indigenous conflict resolution institution among Gamo has three stages of conflict resolution. The higher (Dere), middle (Guta), and lower stages. Conflict resolution at the higher and middle stages is used to lead by elders from the Gamo traditional political system. Conflicts at the lower stage are used to be resolved by elders selected by the disputant parties. The three stages of conflict resolution are highly interconnected and refer to cases from one setting to another.
From a positional standpoint, this study proposes the indigenous conflict resolution mechanisms among Gamo and draws out lessons for Ethiopia and other countries to build sustainable peace.

An assessment of the effects of operational risk prevalence on food-aid distribution efficiency in Zimbabwe
Peter Ngarize, Bethuel Sibongiseni Ngcamu and Felix Chari- April 2022- Page No.: 15-24
Background
The frequent occurrence of disasters and their disruptive impact, have been felt by communities throughout the world, forcing, governments and other humanitarian stakeholders to distribute food aid to disaster victims to save lives. In the process of distributing food-aid humanitarian stakeholders, face operational risks, along the food-aid supply chain network, which this study seeks to assess and establish the effect of risks on food-aid distribution efficiency in Zimbabwe.
Objectives
This study intends to achieve the following objectives:
1. To establish the operational supply chain risks prevalent in food aid distribution in Zimbabwe?
2. To assess the impact of operational risks on food-aid distribution efficiency in Zimbabwe?
Methods
A mixed research method was adopted, in this study. Quantitative data and In-depth qualitative face to face structured and semi structured interviews were conducted from 80 government and civil society workers who implement and oversee food-aid distribution programmes in the seven drought prone districts of Zimbabwe. Quantitative data was analyzed using STATA Version 12 and presented in tables while qualitative research material was analyzed using NVivo and presented in vignettes.
Results
The results of this study revealed that operational risks significantly affected the efficiency of implementing humanitarian food- aid distribution operations.
Conclusion
Operational risks affect food aid distribution efficiency, by creating negative impacts on food aid flows resulting in the futility of efficient food aid distribution.

Constructing Online Political Habitus: Unpacking Filipino Generational Political Facebook Posts Using Multiple Correspondence Analysis
Jason O. Manaois, PhD- April 2022- Page No.: 25-36
Social networking sites had become influential as a platform for discourses, social interaction, and self-presentation (Delise, 2014). Facebook (FB) had become mainstream that its feature of posting political posts and information impacts the society. It is the objective of this study to explore the nature of online political posts and its users. A purposively sampled participants were selected (n=200), and their online political posts were coded and analyzed. Using exploratory sequential mixed methods, six major motivations to use social media was identified thru content analysis. Multiple correspondence analysis was done to cluster individuals into defined groups, namely: political activism, political slacktivism, and politically enmeshed. Moreover, the structure of online political habitus was constructed. It is cognitively structured by the individual level of political knowledge and socially constructed by political participation. Implications of the result show the crucial role of values formation during the early formative years in a person’s life. The established beliefs and values later dictate a person’s online political engagements. Moreover, educational attainment also contributed to the development of online political habitus of individuals wherein they are instinctively motivated to do political posting.

Porous Borders and Armed Proliferation: Nigeria’s Endless Security Dilemma
Mezie-Okoye, Charles Chukwurah, Ph.D.- April 2022- Page No.: 37-41
This article discusses how Nigeria’s porous borders have fostered insecurity. The protection of human life and property inside a given jurisdiction necessitates border security. Smugglers of various kinds of illegal goods, including small weapons, use Nigeria’s land borders as free entry and exit points. They operate practically unabated by the country’s security forces. Our borders in the northeast and northwest are like thoroughfares without the resistance of Nigerian security officers. A qualitative approach was adopted for this study, a secondary method of gathering data was used; data was gathered from textbooks, journals, articles, published and unpublished works, and the internet. The link between porous borders, arms proliferation, and insecurity allows for the unrestricted flow of small guns into and out of Nigeria, with the majority of these weapons ending up in the hands of non-state actors who use them to stir up trouble and render society unfriendly, ungoverned, and unsafe. This study’s theoretical framework is the failed state theory. The failed state theory outlines a situation in which a government fails to fulfill its duties. Nigeria’s large land and marine borders, on the other hand, are extremely porous and poorly monitored and policed. The key findings of this article are that border porosity caused a food shortage in the northeast and that individuals in the quest for food ended up with significant problems. Kidnappings and insecurity have also escalated in that region, as well as in Nigeria as a whole. The research emphasizes the critical significance of border security in resolving the country’s security concerns. This is because tiny arms and light weapons, as well as criminals, enter the country quite easily and occasionally wreak mayhem.

Third World Dependency and 2008 Global Financial Crisis: An Analysis of the Sustainability of Global Capitalist System
Udoh Ukeme Victor – April 2022- Page No.: 42-48
Since third world countries was created in the hands of colonial masters, from then still date their economic was link up with that of the western capitalist structures. By so, exposing them to deadly wars of capitalism. The integration of third world economic structures into the global capitalist system have exposed third world countries to the crisis of underdevelopment, exploitation and expropriation of their resources to the foreign land. And by so keeping them in a depending state, so that capitalist goals will continues to be achieved by the capitalist west. To this end, this study seeks to justify the argument “Whether Global Capitalist System is sustainable and what is the way out for third world countries from the woods of the current global system. The study is anchored on Dependency Theory as its theoretical framework. The study adopted secondary methods of data collection as method of gathering data and content analyzed. Also, ex-post facto survey design was employed. Tools such as percentages, chart etc to were used to corroborate the analysis. The findings of the study shows that capitalism as the current global system would face off in 2050, also that third world countries will completely face off, if they still continue in the capitalist ideology. In the light of this, the study recommended some alternative approach for third world countries like automatic Delink from Western capitalist ideology, and that Third World countries, especially in Africa, should adopt Auto- Ecodemocratic System Ideology.

Belonging and Becoming: Boundary and Identity Issues in the North West Region of Cameroon
Mathias Azang Adig (PhD)- April 2022- Page No.: 55-60
Inter-ethnic boundary crises are hallmarks of Cameroon with the North West Region (NWR) gaining notoriety with high propensity of aggravation. The varied ramifications of crises related to boundaries in this region, orchestrates unanimity among academics and researchers that the issue is topical and preoccupying. What seamlessly surfaced from the boundary crises is the ethnic identification. Boundaries divided ethnic groups, rendered some stranded and landless. The main thrust of this paper is the nexus between boundary and identity issue in the NWR of Cameroon. The study investigates how ethnic groups in this region belonged and/or became with the implantation of boundaries among them. The paper establishes the premises that the advent of formal boundaries in the region, a phenomenon hitherto absent, triggered the identity question. It concludes that the notion of dual, lost and void identities in the NWR owed their origins to the advent of formal boundary, introduced by the Chamba, officialized by the colonial administrations and adopted and/or adjusted by the post-colonial government.

Application of Digital Technology in the Understanding of Young Adult Literature
Diala Edwin Lionel, Prof. Ikechukwu Akude, Ike Chinyere Mariagoratti and Ohanaka Bethrand Uchenna – April 2022- Page No.: 68-73
Digital communications are thoughtfully influencing young adult communications. The purpose of this paper is to analyze how young adult novels portray digital communications features using text messages, e-mails, or blogs. This study explores adult authors’ representations of characters in young adult literature (YAL) using digital communication like text messaging, blogs, instant messaging (IM), social networking websites, and email. The argument is that digital communication presents a new feature of young adult literature which has not yet been satisfactorily and adequately explored. The paper examines how the incidence of digital communication in contemporary society is signified in texts developed for the teens by illustrating who, what, and why of digital communication found in the texts. The paper also examines meta-themes available in the texts as the characters themselves reveal how digital communication impacts their life. The study found that the young adult literature texts used many forms of communication to maintain the narrative voice including blogs, e-mail, IM, text messages and social networking sites. The themes of establishing interpersonal connections, constructing identity and relationships with family were also illustrated and portrayed through the texts.

Who is to be blamed for The Transatlantic Slave Trade in Africa? A Focus on the Role Played by Africa in the Trade
Mathew Awine Ayamdooo – April 2022- Page No.: 74-81
This paper examines the Trans-Atlantic slave trade with a special focus on the role that Africans played in the trade to determine the extent to which a party in the trade can be blamed for the trade that has now been seen as a forgotten crime against humanity. The paper employs the qualitative research methodology, using the desktop review approach, to peruse and analyze secondary materials on the topic under study. The paper establishes the distinct nature of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade that distinguished it from the Trans-Saharan slave trade and other forms of slavery experiences in Africa and elsewhere. The paper also establishes that, Africans played a very significant role in the transatlantic slave trade, as they voluntarily played the role of suppliers of slaves to European slave buyers. The paper also acknowledges the instances where Africans were coerced by their European trading partners into slavery or slave trade, but establishes that Africans traded in equal terms with the Europeans and sometimes dictated the terms of trade, as they aimed at benefiting from the lucrative trade. The paper also indicates how Africans exchanged slaves for fire arms which they needed badly to protect themselves from invasion by neighbours. The paper argues that the slave trade was a trade between two parties – Africans and foreigners and both parties benefited from the spoils of the trade and cannot be exonerated from any blame that may arise from the consequences of the trade.

The Effects of Financial Inclusion on Female Entrepreneurship in Cameroon: Product Innovation, Market Development and Product Renovation
Emmanuel Nghoshigo Yakum, Dr. Nkiendem Felix – April 2022- Page No.: 82-88
This paper examines the effects of financial inclusion on female entrepreneurship in Cameroon. The research applied secondary data from Cameroon Enterprise survey 2016. The researcher employed descriptive statistics and binary logit model analysis to analyse the data. The results of our findings revealed that Usage and access to working capital from commercial banks have positive and significant effects on female entrepreneurship in Cameroon; however, working capitals from Microfinance Institutions as well as Non-bank financial institutions both have positive and insignificant effects. The Pseudo R-Square shows that financial inclusion indicators used account for 7.6% of variations in female entrepreneurship. Variations in female entrepreneurship in Cameroon can therefore be explained by financial inclusion. Thus Laws on property ownership should be revised to permit women have access to acquired landed property to increase their collateral and make them obtained high loans from Commercial bank rather than only microloans from Microfinance Institutions. Microfinance Institutions should reduce the interest rate in order to attract female entrepreneurs

Job Involvement and Job Satisfaction as Correlates of Responsiveness among Nurses in Abua Multi-System Hospital, Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State
Dr. Timothy Ihinmoyan- April 2022- Page No.: 89-93
Responsiveness is a service quality widely acknowledged for its beneficial impact. Job satisfaction or employee satisfaction is a measure of workers’ contentedness with their job, whether they like the job or individual aspects or facets of jobs, such as nature of work or supervision, Job Involvement refers to the psychological and emotional extent to which someone participates in his/her work, profession, and company.
The study was a cross-sectional survey in which 68 nurses comprising 25 males and 43 females were purposively selected. Participants were drawn from nurses in Abua Multi-System Hospital, Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State. A structured questionnaire divided into four sections and contained standardised scales that measured responsiveness, job involvement, and job Satisfaction was used for data collection. The scales were revalidated during pilot study to ascertain their reliability and suitability for use within the Nigerian cultural context. They all yielded high Cronbach alpha coefficients. Three hypotheses were tested in the study. Data were analyzed using multiple regression at 0.05 level of significance.
Results showed significant joint influence of’ job Satisfaction and job involvement on empathic behaviour, F (2,68) 12.68, p<. 01); female nurses were significantly higher on empathic behaviour than male nurses t (68) 2.40; p< .05; and younger nurses displayed higher level of responsiveness than older nurses, (234) 12.15; 01. The results of the study and its implications were discussed in line with the findings.
It was recommended that Health jobers should be regularly sent for courses on human behaviour, resource management, interpersonal relation, stress management and crisis interventions.

Social Media and Governance: Appropriation and Modalities of Use in Kakamega County Governance in Kenya
Brenda Mulama – April 2022- Page No.: 94-99
Continuous communication to citizens is significant in any government. Therefore, employing social media as a communication tool in accessing public opinion is imperative. The two tiers of government in Kenya- central and county are progressively incorporating social media. To determine the efficacy and use of social media, there is a need to examine how it is used at the grassroots. This study looked at how the County Government of Kakamega in Kenya is using social media to enhance governance based on the factors informing appropriation of social media and modalities of use of social media in governance. A mixed-methods approach, using the convergent parallel mixed-method research design was utilized. The target population was 34 participants in charge of the communication units at the County. The study concluded that Facebook was the overriding social media platform for enhancing governance and that social media use in governance is ineffective in the Kakamega county government. The study recommends that the county government should train more personnel on social media and digital marketing tools to enhance the usage of social media to disseminate information to the residents. It is hoped that the findings of this research will benefit scholarship as social media is still a new sensation, especially at the grassroots, and there is a significant gap on what it can and cannot do in relation to governance.

Causes of Undergraduate Stress in Enugu State, Nigeria: Students Viewpoint
Evelyn Ijeoma Ezepue, Chukwuemeka Joseph Chukwu, Chukwubuike Obiora Ezepue, and Udechukwu Felix Ezepue- April 2022- Page No.: 108-116
Stress can explain some suicides among youths and students of tertiary educational institutions in Nigeria. Recently there has been reports of youths and undergraduates of tertiary educational institutions succumbing to stress and committing suicides, not only in Nigeria but around the world.
We therefore set out to determine the viewpoint of students on the causes of stress among youth and undergraduates.
In a qualitative study using facilitated focus group discussions we identified and listed the causes of stress among the students at the Federal College of Dental Technology & Therapy, Trans-Ekulu Enugu, and the University of Nigeria, Nsukka and Ituku-Ozalla Campuses.
Financial difficulties, academic issues, emotional and relationship issues, conflicts with school authorities, family and parental issues, welfare, state of municipal amenities, security concerns and cybernetwork and social media related issues were the chief causes of stress among the students.
If stressed students are recognized early, they could be helped to make appropriate adjustments; specialized institutional units, friends and better parenting could be useful.

Relationship between Emotional Intelligence and Suicidal Tendencies, Among Undergraduates Students of University of Benin
Chukujindu Joyce Okafor Phd, Nwakaego Elizabeth Oyana- April 2022- Page No.: 117-128
This study examined the interplay between emotional intelligence and suicidal tendencies among undergraduates of University of Benin. A non-experimental research design was employed, namely a correlational survey research design. Data were collected from a sample size of 396, utilizing the proportional sampling technique. The instrument used was a structured questionnaire, which comprised of two sections, section A was used for collecting demographic characteristics of the respondents and sections B and C was used for testing variables of interest which were tested. Reliability test was conducted by employing Cronbach’s alpha, which yielded a coefficient alpha value of 0.85. Findings showed that there was no significant relationship between emotional intelligence and suicidal tendencies among undergraduates @ r=0.014, p=0.785. The study also revealed no relationship between self-awareness and suicidal tendencies @ r= 0.003 but however revealed a weak direct relationship between self-regulation and suicidal tendencies @ r= 0.072, p= 0.154. The study therefore recommended, among others, that major stakeholders such as school administrators, lecturers and parents should keep in mind that the students are vulnerable to suicidal tendencies and as such should show more understanding towards students’ plight and be less judgmental.

Integrated Intelligentsia of Social Systems
Syed V Ahamed, Professor Emeritus- April 2022- Page No.: 129-137
This paper integrates the roles of inspirational, acquired, and genetic intelligentsia that dominant the actions in everyday life. This unique blend of intelligence permits entities to solve, resolve, refine, and to iterate the solutions to an economically viable optimal limit. The law of diminishing returns is foreseen in the solution by the proposed social machines rather than the human perception. The paper also presents the implementation in a computer environment and extends it further in a network and communication environment, including the Internet. The clue lies in organizing and managing such rapid flow of immense flow in a mindset that is very slow in comparison. As reaffirmed in the conclusion, the approach outlined in the paper should be valuable for much of humankind and for social organizations

Local Government and Community Participation; Prospect of the Unit Committee Model in Ghana´s Decentralization Program
Paul Kwaku Larbi Anderson – April 2022- Page No.: 143-149
The unit committee model representing the basic structure of Ghana’s decentralization and local government program plays a crucial role in grassroots mobilization and community participation in the decision-making and implementation process. This paper reviews the prospects of the unit committee models as a unique feature of Ghana´s decentralization and local government policy for promoting participation at the local level. Data for the study was obtained through semi-structured interviews, non-participant observation, focused group discussions, documents, and material culture analysis. The study was conducted within the Nsawam-Adoagyiri and Suhum Municipalities in the Eastern Region of Ghana. The study revealed that local expectation from the unit committee members is inconsistent with their formal role as the basic structure of the decentralization and local government policy in Ghana. Unrealistic public expectations coupled with inadequate financial resources have resulted in total disregard for the functioning of the unit committee system. This makes the unit committee model seems to exist only by name since its impact is not so much felt at the local level making the position of the members who are elected and partly appointed a mere formality. This study recommends effective public education and institutional mechanisms to enhance the functioning of the unit committee model for members to effectively commit to their role to achieve the purpose for which the system was instituted.

Aiyegbenin Charles Ubunyemen, Gbenda Batur-Laha, Joseph Audu Obida – April 2022- Page No.: 150-155
This study examined loneliness as correlate of marital satisfaction among civil servants in Nassarawa and Benue States. One research question and one hypothesis guided the study. Correlational Design was adopted. Sample size of 400 civil servants out of the population of 56,962 was used. Two self-developed questionnaires titled ‘Psycho-Social Factors Questionnaire (PSFSQ) and Marital Satisfaction Questionnaire’ (MFQ) were used to collect data. For the reliability of the instrument, the questionnaires were administered on 40 participants comprising of 20 men and 20 women. The test yielded a reliability coefficient of .84 Cronbach’s Alpha on Psycho-social factors and .85 Cronbach’s Alpha on marital satisfaction. The questionnaires yielded a reliability coefficient of .90 Cronbach’s Alpha. Descriptive statistics of frequency count and percentage were employed for the demographic variables while Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation coefficient was used to answer the research questions and test the hypotheses at .05 significance level. Result showed that, there was significant relationships between the variable (Loneliness) and marital satisfaction of civil servants in Nassarawa States of Nigeria. It was recommended that civil servants should be counselled during premarital counselling and marital counselling to create time for bonding as a couple in order to avert loneliness in their marriage.

The Potential Water, Food, and Energy Security-Related Impacts of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam – Gerd Amharic: ታላቁ የኢትዮጵያ ሕዳሴ ግድብ on the Lower Stream Riparian States and Egypt’s Distinct Concern Scepticism: A Systematic Review and Qualitative Synthesis
Heron Gezahegn Gebretsadik- April 2022- Page No.: 156-165
The Nile River is remained to be a critical resource and center of contradiction among the Nile basin states. Scholars argue that Egypt had an upper hand over the use of the Nile River. However, Egypt’s hegemony over the Nile has been significantly challenged since the initiation of the construction of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) in 2011. This creates heavy tension, particularly between Ethiopia and Egypt in the last decade. Though the GERD has been filling the reservoir over the last two years and recently started to generate electric power, the potential negative impacts of the dam over the lower riparian countries remained unclear. This systematic review and meta-synthesis investigated the potential water, food, and energy security-related transboundary impacts of the GERD on the lower riparian states. Furthermore, the research work explored Egypt’s distinct concern over GERD.
The reduction in Nile water volume and velocity, the likelihood of water loss through evaporation, the impoverishment of agricultural lands, the depletion of water reserve, easing of hydroelectric power generation, and the ever-increasing threats in water security are reported to be some of the major water, food, and energy security-related transboundary impacts of the GERD on the lower stream riparian states. On the other hand, the fear of a potential reduction in water supply from the Nile and the consequent occurrence of drought during the dry seasons, and the unresolved tripartite disagreement on the operational detail of the mega-dam are identified to be the major concerns of Egypt over the GERD. Ethiopia has reportedly said the GERD has no significant harm on the lower riparian states. The country believes that the mega project is a way forward to facilitate economic development among the riparian states and mitigate the shortage of electric power in the region.

Subsidized secondary education policy on pass rates in Kenya certificate of secondary education in public secondary schools in Bungoma County, Kenya
Herman, J. Wachiye, Ph.D, Jackline, K.A. Nyerere, PhD, Thaddaeus, O. Rugar, PhD- April 2022- Page No.: 166-170
Subsidization of the public secondary school education by the government of Kenya in 2008 witnessed a tremendous growth in the student population at this level of education. This scenario led to an over enrollment and a strain on the existing learning facilities and infrastructure in most public secondary schools in Kenya, including those in Bungoma County . Under these circumstances, the question that remained unanswered was ; what was the effect of the subsidized secondary education policy (SSEP) on the student pass rates in the Kenya certificate of secondary education (KCSE) in the public secondary schools in Bungoma County ? The purpose of this study was to analyze the change brought about by the SSEP on the student pass rates in the KCSE in public secondary schools in Bungoma County, Kenya. The findings of this study revealed that, the subsidized secondary education policy significantly improved the student pass rates in KCSE in the public secondary schools in the County, from a mean of 70.53% before the introduction of the subsidy, to a mean of 75.82% after introduction of the subsidy, with a p-value of less than 0.05( p<0.05). In conclusion, the SSEP improved the student pass rates in the KCSE. On the basis of the conclusion, it was recommended that the government should uphold the subsidized secondary education policy in public secondary schools, because it has the potential to sustain improved student pass rates in KCSE in public secondary schools in Bungoma County and Kenya at large.

A New Historicists Analysis of J. A. Annobil’s Abotar
Comfort Bonsu – April 2022- Page No.: 171-178
This paper aims at employing the New historicism theory in analyzing J. A. Annobil’s Abotar. The New Historicism theory, as propounded by Stephen Greenblatt, is based on the idea that a literary composition is affected by the author’s time and circumstances, however, the critic’s evaluation of the work is also affected by his surroundings, beliefs, or preconceptions. The Analysis of J. A.. Annobil’s Abotar captures how a writer’s literary composition mirrors his/her milieu. On citing instances from the text, Ghanaian culture (specifically Akan) and aspects of Ghanaian history are well demonstrated and explained

Consumer contracts under the Zambian Law: Does the legislation Provide Adequate Consumer Protection
Liambela Muyunda Leakey (PhD), Mubiana Mubiana – April 2022- Page No.: 179-196
Owing to the shift of the Zambian economy from a countrywide manipulative economic system to a free market economy, there has been neediness for the government to efficiently regulate the economic system to promote honest opposition and client safety. To achieve this, need the authorities enacted the Competition and Fair-Trading Act of 1994 which geared toward regulating anti-competitive practices and customer exploitations within the marketplace. Following some of the changes that have taken area within the Zambian financial system, Parliament enacted the Competition and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 which incorporates diverse revolutionary provisions which might be supposed to address modem financial demands inside the Zambian economic system. This paper focuses on establishing whether Consumer contracts under the Zambian Law if it Provides adequate Consumer Protection by evaluating its effectiveness within the selling and law of sincere competition, patron safety and financial increase in Zambia. It verifies whether the Competition and Consumer Protection Act has effectively and efficiently addressed winning social and financial desires of Zambia’s monetary expedient. The findings were that Competition and Consumer Protection Act become enacted with numerous progressive provisions which were probably presupposed to cope with modem monetary conditions in Zambia. Through those upgrades, the Competition and Consumer Protection Act has quite addressed triumphing monetary desires in the Zambian economic operations. However, despite enhancing the Law, the legislation has not Provided Adequate Consumer Protection as evident by the increasing number of cases being recorded in Zambia regarding consumer protection.

Parental Involvement in Reducing Learner Absenteeism in Selected Primary Schools of Kazungula District in the Southern Province of Zambia
Peggy Muyabi, Kalisto Kalimaposo, Kaiko Mubita, Sanny Mulubale, Patrick Sikayomya, Nicholas Haambokoma, Inonge Milupi and Kasonde Mundende- April 2022- Page No.: 207-214
Parental involvement is an important component of children’s early school success and is recognized as a significant ingredient in reducing learner absenteeism and improving the quality of children’s education. To this effect, the aim of the study was to investigate the effects of parental involvement in reducing learner absenteeism in selected primary schools of Kazungula District. The objectives were to: establish ways through which parents are involved in reducing learner absenteeism, explore the benefits of parental involvement in reducing learner absenteeism, ascertain challenges that limit parental involvement in reducing learner absenteeism and establish interventions put in place by schools to improve parental involvement in reducing learner absenteeism in three selected primary schools. A sample of 15 learners, 15 parents, 03 grade teachers and 03 head teachers was purposively drawn from three selected primary schools in Kazungula district. A qualitative approach and a descriptive research design were employed for the study. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews and focus group discussions. The data were analysed through thematic analysis.
The findings of the study revealed that there was parental involvement in the sampled primary schools as parents participated in PTA meetings, helping children with home work, paying school fees, attending open days, volunteering at school, providing school requirements and food. With regard to the benefits of parental involvement in reducing learner absenteeism, the study revealed that parental involvement improved school attendance, brought about understanding of the importance of attendance and reduced teacher work load. It also increased parent contact with school, made parents become more supportive of schools and improved positive behaviour among learners.
The major barriers of parental involvement as revealed by the study were busy schedules among parent, non-parent invitation to involvement in school activities, poor relationships between schools and parents. Other barriers included long distance to school, negative attitudes towards partnership and poverty among parents.
The study found schools improving communication, becoming more welcoming to parents, encouraging parents to serve in school committees and inviting parent to volunteer in school activities and attend meetings as intervention measures to improve parental involvement in reducing learner absenteeism

Historiographical Analysis of Rebels’ Eating Habits under the Maquis in West-Cameroon (1957-1960)
Kévine Raïssa Atemkeng Makowa – April 2022- Page No.: 215-223
: In the aftermath of the Second World War, several states on the African continent embarked on the race for freedom; the peoples living under the domination of French power expressed their desire to leave the colonial yoke. In Cameroon, it is through the nationalists that voices are raised against the colonial government in place. It was also through their initiative that a political party was born in 1948: the Union des Populations du Cameroun (UPC). This political formation clearly poses the problem of the reunification and independence of Cameroon; which earned him his ban by an ordinance, signed on July 13, 1955, by the French High Commissioner Roland Pré. This prohibition pushes its militants and the nationalists to go underground. Thus ensued a war characterized by a series of assassinations. The case of the MP Samuel Wanko, assassinated in 1957, is important since it marks the official beginning of the maquis in Bamileke land. During the war, the escalation of violence will generate the displacement of “rebel” populations from their usual lands to the bush. Unlike other research on the maquis, which places particular emphasis on nationalists’ battles, the present study shows how these maquisards adapted their eating habits and diet not only to their new environment, but also to the war situation they were facing. In this perspective, this research aims to make a historiographical analysis of the eating habits of the nationalists living under the maquis in the Bamileke land, by answering the question of knowing: how did the maquisards of the Bamileke land feed themselves during this pivotal period in the history of Cameroon? Methodologically, the resolution of this problem is based on the analysis of written and oral data. This consists of the collection, processing, criticism and interpretation of the said data, as well as the use of a multidisciplinary approach integrating anthropology and sociology. It appears from the data that during the maquis, the nationalists adopted new eating habits, some of which persisted well after this pivotal period in the history of the Bamileke people. More so, they used foodstuffs to defend themselves.

The Export Performance of the Sri Lankan Tea: An Econometric Analysis
M. W. A. De Silva, N. S. Cooray – April 2022- Page No.: 224-227
Sri Lanka is the fourth-largest tea producer and the world’s third-biggest tea exporter. It is vital to investigate why Sri Lanka lost her second place as an exporter of tea and how she can regain this status. Current research fills the literature gap by exploring the tea export industry. The current research uses time-series data from 1989 to 2020, and the time-series properties were evaluated using the ADF unit root test. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) Model looked at the long-run and short-run relationship between variables. The ARDL bound test showed that tea export is cointegrated with the other three variables (tea production, real exchange rates, and foreign exchange earnings). When considered, the foreign income has a substantial long-run and short-run influence on tea exports, whereas real exchange rates suggest only significant short-run effects. Total tea production serves as a supply constraint and has a significant long-run effect, while one-period lag tea production has a significant short-run impact. This study recommends that policymakers ensure an export quality tea production to acquire a place before on the global export market.

Evaluation of the Administration and Management of Peer Teaching at the University of Zambia: Lessons from Geography Education Students
Kasonde Mundende, Kaiko Mubita, Kalisto Kalimaposo, Nicholas Haambokoma, Inonge Milupi and Patrick Sikayomya – April 2022- Page No.: 228-235
This study sought to evaluate the administration and management of peer teaching at the University of Zambia (UNZA). The aim of the study was to determine the practical way(s) to enhance the administration and management of peer teaching in geography education at UNZA. The main objectives were to: (i) evaluate the effectiveness of the peer teaching at UNZA; (ii) explore practical ways of administering and managing peer teaching to enhance quality at UNZA. The study used qualitative approach, and the case study design. 47 learners (21 male & 26 female) and one male lecturer participated in the study. The key findings were (i) majority of learners agreed that peer teaching was well organised at UNZA; (ii) majority of learners disagreed that the time allocated to the peer teaching was adequate; (iii) learners faced various challenges which included inadequate time allocated to peer teaching experience, lack of teaching resources, difficulties in lesson management, lecturers’ attitude and their punctuality. Because of these findings the study recommends the following: (i) increase in the time allocation to peer teaching activity, to between 20 and 40 minutes, (ii) beginning peer teaching early in the year, (iii) departmental involvement in providing teaching and learning resources to be used during the peer teaching experience, and that lecturers should be punctual and should give feedback after each learner presenter.

Participatory disaster information gathering approach for urban flood resilience
R.U.K. Piyadasa, H.M.M.S.D. Herath – April 2022- Page No.: 236-243
Flooding is an indivisible component of nature facing by the human across the world. It is proven that ‘flood’ is highly required to the cyclical process of river based ecosystems. During the last few centuries, the global urbanization has been severely affected by the phenomena of flood among all types of natural disasters which occur worldwide, as the most frequent disaster occurrence. The artificial alterations plus over exploitation of the natural functioning of water cycle have been causing devastating flood events increasingly. Sustainable Development of the human settlements is being threatened by frequent flood occurrences and their consequences where flooding has become a negative event in the context of rapid urbanization. On this background, this study aims to achieve the objective of examining the applicability of community based information to increase the flood resilience in the urban regions affected by storm water and flood occurrences, taking Kalu Oya Basin of Northern Colombo, Sri Lanka as the case study region. In the context of mixed urban to rural continuum of Kalu Oya basin, the utilized tools of community based information gathering techniques were proven greatly successful enabling a fruitful interaction to gather the different scenarios on living with flood.

Determining Effectiveness of Learners’ Intellectual Skills in Supporting Authentic Learning within a Competency Based Education Model in Secondary School Education: A Case of Kenya
Karen T. Odhiambo and George Okoth Ouma – April 2022- Page No.: 244-257
This study was carried out to determine IQ levels, learner preference of intellectual skills as well as impact of IQ on academic performance in secondary schools in Kenya. The study was based on the fact that learning today requires a shift in philosophy that relies on intellectual frame of mind, a forerunner of critical thinking skills and metacognitive perspectives of learning in the 21st Century. The study adopted a descriptive research design with a total of 160 students, 20 per school out of 8-schools identified. The study revealed that majority of learners who took the test attained below average intelligence IQ range at 85 – 114 with 56.06% male and 31.82% female learners in this IQ range. The other dominant category of learners attained above average intelligence with IQ range of 115 – 129 with 36.36% male and 45.45% of females. The study also revealed that the males tend to prefer technical tasks such as logical mathematical and bodily-kinesthetic compared to girls who were more inclined towards linguistics, musical and interpersonal intelligence. As for the results on academic performance in relation to intellectual skills, the relationship was inverse. It can be concluded that intellectual patterns arising from the study reflect a narrow sense of intellectual abilities leading to disjointedness in the learning process without the depth required. There is need for more research for a more solid theoretical foundation to be able to draw comparisons and determine trends regarding learner intelligence in secondary schools in Kenya.

Emotional self – regulation and Academic Achievement among Form Two Students in public Secondary Schools Nairobi County, Kenya
Patricia Wakanyi Kimani, Dr Philomenah Ndambuki, Dr. Samuel Mutweleli – April 2022- Page No.: 258-266
Low academic achievement has been of great concern worldwide for a long time. Research studies that have been done, attribute this to various causes including environmental and psychological factors. More specifically, the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between students’ emotional self-regulation and academic achievement in Nairobi County, Kenya. Golman’s Mixed Model of Emotional Intelligence theory guided the study. The study adopted a correlational research design in order to establish the relationship between the variables. The target population was all year 2019 form two students in public secondary schools in Nairobi County. Purposive, stratified and simple random sampling procedures were used to select location, level and participants respectively. A total of 738 questionnaires for students selected from eight public secondary schools in Nairobi County were analyzed. Emotional self-regulation scale for Adolescents and Children was adopted and used to measure students’emotional self-regulation. Students’ academic achievement was inferred from their examination grades obtained from school records. A pilot study was conducted involving 34 students in one co-educational day school within the county to establish and enhance validity and reliability of the study instruments. Data collected was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Hypotheses were tested at a = .05 level of significance. The results revealed that emotional self-regulation was positively and significantly correlated to academic achievement (r (738 = .0.074, P < .0.05. Among the two levels of emotional self-regulation, only cognitive reappraisal reported a statistically significant correlation with academic achievement. Expressive suppression and academic achievement revealed a weak negative statistically non-significant relationship. Therefore, the study recommended that educators consider teaching students emotional intelligence skills to foster use of proper emotional control strategies in order to enhance academic achievement.

Challenges Faced by Pregnant Students at the University of Education, Winneba, Ghana and Strategies for Supporting Them
Gifty Nordzi, Seyram Dusu, Dr. Hinneh Kusi – April 2022- Page No.: 267-272
This study explored the challenges faced by pregnant students at the University of Education, Winneba and strategies for supporting them. It was a qualitative study underpinned by interpretive philosophical thought. The study employed a case study approach and collected data using the semi-structured interview. Snowball sampling strategy was employed to select thirty (30) pregnant students, maximal variation sampling technique to select five (5) counsellors, and convenient sampling technique to select five (5) lecturers for the study. The study revealed that the social challenges faced by the students were related to the attitudes of lecturers and students towards them, while the academic challenges included slow pace of studying, which affected their performance negatively. The study pointed out that the pregnant students coped with their social challenges mainly through the avoidance coping mechanism and the academic challenges by managing their time effectively and joining group discussions. It was concluded, among others, that the pregnant students at the university experienced some difficulties in their academic work because the available facilities as well as their colleagues and lecturers in the institution do not support their condition or situation. It was recommended, among others that, the university’s counselling centre should educate students and lecturers on how to handle and associate with the pregnant students and treat them as individuals with special needs.

Election as a Rector Appointment System in Turkish Universities; Academic freedom or autonomy?
Abdullah Murat Tuncer – April 2022- Page No.: 273-276
Higher Education Council (YÖK) has been a controversial institution due to the military regime environment on the day it was founded. In November 1981, YÖK took its place in the 1982 constitution, whose principles and legal formation were revealed with the law numbered 2547. Before YÖK, the Law on Universities No. 4936, published in the Official Gazette on 18 June 1946, regulated the appointment of rectors by-election. The YÖK law, which was established according to the Constitution adopted on November 4, 1982, put an end to the process of appointing the rectors by-election.
On July 7, 1992, an amendment was made to the article of the Higher Education Law regulating the election of the rector, and the election was brought again in the appointments of the rectors.
On October 29, 2016, with a change in the conditions of the state of emergency, the rectorate elections were ended again.
Misapplications in the appointment or election of rectors have led to serious turmoil in the university environment caused by dissatisfaction, political intervention and pressures, ideological and internal conflicts, slander, and defamation for a long time. Academic freedom is important in universities, but where is the limit of autonomy? It is difficult to say autonomy about universities whether public or private because they are responsible for public service and they use public resources. Therefore, full financial and administrative autonomy pushes the limits for universities.
In terms of academic freedoms, the rector’s performance and merit are more important than the way the rectors’ appointment system.
This paper discusses election as a rector appointment system in Turkish Universities regarding academic freedom and autonomy.

Classroom Practices of Senior High School Physics Teachers in the Hohoe Municipality
Maxwell, Dah, Rose, Dognia – April 2022- Page No.: 277-287
The purpose of the study was to investigate the activities and practices of physics teachers in terms of their pedagogical skills and assessment practices. The study was limited to physics teachers and students in eight (8) senior high schools in the Hohoe Municipality of the Volta Region, Ghana. Descriptive cross-sectional survey design was employed in carrying out the study. A total sample of 200 senior high school physics students and 2 physics teacher were involved in data collection. A questionnaire consisting mainly of closed ended items and observation schedule were used in collecting data from respondents. Data collected was analysed using simple frequencies, percentages, mean and standard deviation. It was found that, most of the physics teachers do not often respond appropriately to students’ wrong answers and misconceptions. Most physics students also raised concerns about their physics teachers not often linking what they teach to their daily life occurrences. However, evidence from observation indicates that physics teachers possess and exhibited sufficient knowledge on diverse pedagogical skills. Physics teachers often use interactive formative assessments such as oral question and answer technique. Based on the findings, it was recommended that, physics teachers should carefully pay attention to and often address their students’ wrong answers and misconceptions, make learning of physics interesting by making students appreciate the importance of what they teach.

Employee Engagement and Competitive Advantage during Covid 19 Pandemic in Small to Medium Enterprises, Catering Industry, Harare
Mubango Hazel and Muzariri Calvin – April 2022- Page No.: 288-292
The unexpected coming of Covid -19 to the whole world came with shocking effects on business. Zimbabwe as a country was not spared by this pandemic and in particular, Harare’s small to medium catering industry was seriously affected. This research paper focused on the level of engagement of employees in the Small to Medium Enterprises in the catering industry with the intention to find out how engagement can provide leverage for competitiveness. The concept of engagement has an adverse effect on employee performance and the financial position of the organization. The research was based on documentary analysis to gather information on the unfolding events in Harare. The research revealed that employees in the catering industry were disengaged from the effects of Covid -19 which frustrated the work systems and plans.
The research findings revealed that employees were disengaged due to the changes in work processes. Much of the disengagement came from job insecurity caused by continued lockdowns and poor income generation by the companies. It was recommended that management must support the engagement process as they are key in facilitating employee productivity and company success. Also, the government must encourage dialogue in managing the political, Socio-Cultural and economic issues to at least avert the problems of disengagement

Anthropometric Characteristics of Elite Male Rugby Players at the Rio and Tokyo Summer Olympic Games: A Systematic Review
Michael D. Otieno, Nicholas K. Bailasha, Elijah G. Rintaugu – April 2022- Page No.: 293-299
This study reviewed the anthropometric characteristics of age, height and mass of elite male rugby players at the Rio and Tokyo summer Olympic games. A total of 149 rugby players who participated in the Rio Olympic games and 156 players who participated in the Tokyo Olympic games were profiled. Both games had 12 participating teams with each team consisting of either 12 or 13 players as per World Rugby requirements. Data was collected from team profiles that contained the ages, height and mass of all the players (Wikipedia, 2021). The means and standard deviations were subsequently calculated and Pearson’s correlation used to determine the relationship between the final performances and age, height and mass respectively. Findings showed no significant correlation between performance and age, height and mass at both Rio and Tokyo except for performance and age at the Tokyo Olympics. The findings suggested that the following anthropometric characteristic were dominant: ages between 21and 29; height between 1.80m and 1.90m and mass between 91kg and 100kg.

The Neglect and Ramifications of The Political Opinion of Chief Nyenti Stephen Eyong and The Cameroon Commoner’s Congress (1959-1961)
James Takor Tabe – April 2022- Page No.: 300-307
The article traces the activities of Cameroon Commoners Congress (CCC) under the auspices of Chief Nyenti Stephen Eyong and reasons for neglect of the political opinion advocated by his party during the 1961 plebiscite in Southern Cameroons. It also examines the political, economic and socio-cultural impact of the neglect on the territory. The article made use of secondary and primary sources for the collection of data. Concerning the secondary sources, use was made of an extensive literature that offered some general and specific information about the article. After critical analyses of archival data, tangible evidence emerged as to the fact that Southern Cameroonian inhabitants be they indigenes or non-indigenes were affected negatively due to this neglect. To ensure an easy understanding, we adopted a conventional analytical pattern. We used both the chronological and topical approaches aimed at chronologically illustrating the political neglect and thematically examining the changes that Southern Cameroons experienced over time. Our findings reveal four central issues: Firstly, that by neglecting political opinion of Chief Nyenti, the independence of Southern Cameroons was neglected also. Secondly, minority former British Southern Cameroons citizens have raised their voices for being marginalized by their majority French Cameroonians counterparts. Thirdly, personal interest took precedence over common interest. Fourthly, the neglected political opinion of Chief Nyenti was regretted because some citizens later called for a separate political entity for Southern Cameroons. The article argues that the neglect of the third option in the plebiscite laid ground for Anglophone problem, mutual suspicion and mistrust between Anglophones and Francophone in Cameroon.

The Generosity of the Macedonian Christians: A Godly Model for Christian Giving
Iddrissu A. Shaibu (Phd) – April 2022- Page No.: 308-312
In recent times, concerns have been raised by section of the Church regarding the excessive demands for money by the Church. The argument is that the excessive demands are to the detriment to the personal needs of the congregants. What is more, the presence of Covid-19 has partially led to worsen economic situations, which has in a way affected the giving pattern of the Church. This situation drew the attention of this researcher to the generosity of the Macedonian Christians as found in 2 Cor. 8 & 9. Using secondary sources and the theory of gratitude this paper established that the Macedonian Christians exhibited prosocial behaviour and were energised to sustain their moral behaviour through giving in the midst of severe afflictions. They gave not only to show appreciation for the extension of the Gospel to them, but to aid in the mission work of the Church. In this regard, severe economic and social situations should not deter believers from giving to the Church.

Personhood as a Foundation of Morality in Africa: A Critical Analysis of Ethical Norm-Dead Donor Rule from an African Moral Perspective”
Jonathan Kathenge, PhD – April 2022- Page No.: 313-317
Our conceptual understanding of personhood in Africa guides of moral determination, as well our moral concept in African context affects our perception of personhood. Therefore, the concept of morality, personhood and health in African context should be understood as co-related either by cause or effect relationship with issues pertaining to each either springing from or leading to the other. Morality deals with individual character and the moral rules that govern and limit our conduct. It investigates questions of right and wrong, duty and obligations, and moral responsibility. With this perspective, it can be argued that the moral rightness or wrongness of any ethical norm in the African context should be judged not solely from an outside world view of an individual, but also taking consideration of the African conceptual perspective of morality and personhood because of their co-relationship. It is from this understanding I discuss in this paper an important ethical norm known as Dead Donor Rule, an ethical norm formulated as follows; ‘Organ Donors must clinically be dead before procurement or harvesting of organs can begin. Procurement of the organs must not cause or be the cause of the Donors death’. The problem I am addressing is, “Is it permissible from an African perspective of morality and personhood to directly bring about the disabling mutilation of a human being, even to delay the death of other person or persons? What criteria can we use to make a morally acceptable decision in such a case?” The hypothetical ethical rule or moral norm tested here is Dead Donor Rule. The ethical theory that I apply here is Kantian ethical theory or Kantian categorical imperative. This philosophical discourse is carried out through a mixture of armchair philosophical reflection and existing literature. The conclusion draws out emerging of two opposing groups one supporting and the other opposing the application of the Dead Donor Rule. The recommendation is further unbiased discussion on the objective criteria for organ donation/organ harvesting that also take into account an African concept of personhood and moral standards that conceive human life as sacred and transient beyond physical life.

Open-Doors Policy and Economic Contribution of Urban Refugees in Host Countries: Evidence from Benin
Hounton, S, Abuya Willice O. – April 2022- Page No.: 318-332
This paper assesses the economic contribution of urban refugees in Benin. The main objective of the research is to assess the economic contribution of urban refugees settled in Cotonou to the host community in Benin, examine the challenges they are facing, and the refugee’s policy impact. Therefore, this study used a mixed-methods approach to design and collect primary data on refugees from Central Africa Republic (CAR) who re-sides in the urban areas of Benin in Cotonou. In addition, the study used respondent-driven sampling (RDS) technique. The qualitative data collected enable us to understand the challenges facing refugees and policies and practices in Benin. Meanwhile, the theory used in this research is inspired by the neoclassical theory of demand and new institutional economics. Moreover, the quantitative analysis is strengthened by the econometric framework analysis. The results revealed that the refugees in the urban areas of Benin in Cotonou face a lot of challenges in terms of employment. The larger population of them lack a consistent income to strengthen their livelihood. But the refugee’s policies and practices are in their favour. Thus, the regression analysis revealed that the refugees in Benin contribute positively and significantly to the host community’s economy.

Trauma-Informed Teaching as Correlates of Academic Performance Among Students with Special Education Needs in Ibadan, Oyo State Nigeria
OLADIMEJI Oyeyemi Omolayo & OLORODE Gbolaro Babatunde – April 2022- Page No.: 333-340
Academic Performance of student with Special Education Needs (SENs) had been widely researched, but few researches have considered it based on trauma-informed teaching. To fully implement the relationship between the two, this study investigated trauma-informed teaching as correlates of academic performance of students with special needs in Ibadan. The study employed correlational design. One hundred and fifty (150) Junior Secondary Class (JSS1-3) students from five public secondary schools in Ibadan that answered the questions on the different areas of special needs and indicated how it led to their past experiences of trauma and also adverse childhood experience of trauma participated in the study. Two instruments: namely Academic Performance Rating Scale (APRS) Revised and a well structured questionnaire were administered to elicit responses from the participants. The data realized were subjected to Pearson Product Moment Correlation PPMC and Multiple Regression. There was a positive significant relationship between trauma-informed teaching and academic performance (r = .669**, N= 150, p<.05).There is also a joint contribution of trauma-informed teaching on academic performance of students with special needs. Also, there is a significant relative contribution of trauma-informed teaching (β =0.669, t= 10.965, p < 0.05) on academic performance of students with Special needs. Trauma-informed teaching fostered the academic performance of students with special needs. Conclusion and recommendations were made accordingly.

Effects of Computer-Assisted Instruction on Mathematics Achievement among Secondary School Students in Rivers State, Nigeria
Dr. Ukaigwe, P. C. & Goi-tanen, Keesiop Evelyn – April 2022- Page No.: 341-347
The study investigated the effects of computer-assisted instruction on mathematics achievement among secondary school students in Rivers State. Two research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. The design was quasi-experimental. The population of the study was 215 students in a senior secondary school Kpor in Gokana. The sample of the study was 35 students. The sample size was drawn using simple random sampling technique. The instrument used to collect data was multiple choice achievement test. The instrument was validated by experts in computer science education and the researchers, while the reliability of the instrument was established at 0.81. Mean and standard deviation was used to analyze pre-test and post-test scores to answer research questions, while z-test was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 significant level. The findings of the study showed that students taught with computer assisted instruction performed higher than those taught with traditional instructional methods. Findings also revealed that there is a significant difference between the pretest and post-test achievement scores of students taught Mathematics with computer assisted instructional method. The study recommended among others that government should integrate computer and educational software into the mainstream of mathematics curriculum from the junior secondary school level as this will help to prepare students for stellar performance in Mathematics at senior secondary level.

Exploring the Implication of Gender Balance and the Factors Affecting Women’s Attainment to Top Leadership Positions in Organization
Alabi-Sessou Omobonike Adeola – April 2022- Page No.: 348-358
Underrepresentation of women in top leadership positions in organizations is a global phenomenon. Though studies show an increase in the number of women pursuing higher education globally (Catalyst, 2020) and approximately 47.1% of women have employment globally as well (International Labor Organization, 2014a), yet the obvious reality is that only few women occupy top leadership positions globally. This article reviews the implications of gender balance in leadership in organizations, discusses the leadership theory and leadership styles that serve as bedrock to this article, explains the apparent factors affecting women’s attainment to top leadership positons in organization (Individual, Socio-cultural and Organizational Factors) and it concludes by highlighting the need to eliminate or mitigate the effects of these factors so that more women can attain to top leadership positions in organizations.
